Is it possible that comet will break in two parts while approaching the sun?

  • Which is the "moving power" of the landing gear? Any technical document available? (I can only find them for alternative landing gear) Could it even allow "hopping", or it can just raise the lander body?

  • Was the flywheel causing lander rotation on its Z axis while landing?

  • Why was the flywheel turned off immediately after landing? What's the issue with a running flywheel in an anchored lander?

  • Was the flywheel stopped by means of a brake or just by its own friction?

I saw some live telemetries been published during Philae separation and landing on DLR site; are they still available? http://www.musc.dlr.de/philae/telemetrie.html

It would be cool for public to be able to follow Philae sleeping... and maybe eventually waking up!
